🇸🇾 Government forces close on last rebel group in southwestern Syria | Al Jazeera English

The Syrian government regime and its ally Russia have stepped up their offensive to defeat the last remaining pocket of rebel-held territory in southwestern Syria.
Israel has also been on high alert as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad regains ground from southern rebels, bringing his forces close to the Israeli occupied Golan Heights.
As Al Jazeera\'s Stefanie Dekker reported live from the occupied Golan Heights, huge plumes of smoke could be seen from a short distance away, just across the fence in Syrian territory as Syrian government and Russian forces launched air strikes and tank shelling.
\"What we\'ve been watching throughout the day is an intensive campaign by the Syrian government backed by the Russians to take what is this last pocket of opposition control; the group in charge here is affiliated with ISIL [Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant],\" Dekker said.
